Detail
| Two denial of service problems have been discovered in Gaim, a multi-protocol instant messaging client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CAN-2005-1269 A malformed Yahoo filename can result in a crash of the application. CAN-2005-1934 A malformed MSN message can lead to incorrect memory allocation resulting in a crash of the application. The old stable distribution (woody) does not seem to be affected. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.1-1.3. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your gaim package. |
